| procedural memory | ability to develop new motor skills |
| hebbian synapse | key to associative learning |
| habituation | decreased response to repeated stimuli |
| sensidization | increased response to mild stimuli after an intense stimuli |
| long-term potentiation | when various axons bombard a dendrites with stimuli leading to an increased response in stimuli |

| effinity | how well it activate a receptor (think: EFFECT!) |
| tricylic antidepressants | work by blocking neurotransmitters |
| SSRI | selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor |
| MAOI | monoamine oxidase inhibitors (work on catecholines, serotonin) |
| neurodevelopmental hypothesis (in the context of schizophrenia) | idea that schizophrenia stems from a small deficiency in the left/temporal/frontal lobe, thalamus, ventricles or dorsolateral prefrontal cortex |
| type I bipolar disorder | bipolar disorder with full-blown mania |
